Loe (Hawaiian: Loe o Maui) was a High Chief in ancient Hawaii and he ruled as the 9th known King of Maui (Moʻi). He was the sovereign king or chief of the island of Maui, mentioned in old chants, and ancestor of Kalahumoku II.
Life
Loe was a son of the Chief Kamaloohua by his consort, Kapu of Maui, and thus a grandson of Kuhimana. He followed his father as chief of Maui.
Although war did not occur between Maui and any of the other islands during his reign, there was a disturbance in his father's reign.
He married a woman named Wahaʻakuna, who is mentioned by Samuel Kamakau. She bore him a son named Kahokuohua, who was a King of Molokaʻi island.
Loe is considered to be the great progenitor of the Maui chiefdom. His successor was his grandson, Kaulahea I.
